Piano Covers
So I was watching an episode of Lucifer, and in case you're behind I won't get into any details to avoid spoilers. Well he plays a song on the piano and I immediately recognized it, just couldn't pinpoint the song until I listened to it a time or two more. The song was: Metallica - The Unforgiven and while I do like the song, I had no idea how good it would sound on the piano. So that led me to watching youtube literally all day to look up songs I like and I wanted to share some with you all. Some I wasn't expecting, some I thought would sound good and some I didn't like at all. Please feel free to post piano covers you like as well. So the first will be a cover of that Metallica song that I found on youtube.

Now, some other great ones that I found, and to save post space I'll just provide the youtube link under the song.

EDIT:
Also yea, my heart will go on sounds so elegant. Have you seen the videos adding that song to movie scenes to make them better? lol

Re: Piano Covers
There are so many awesone piano covers, maaan. I've got respect for people who can play the piano. I used to mess around with my grandparents' piano.. I could never read music, but I could play by ear, I can't use my left hand to do much either... but I had learned up to I think 35 seconds in that cover you posted of My Heart Will Go on. Such a gorgeous song.. I wish I still had a piano or a keyboard.
I have not seen any of these videos you mentioned, lol.
I like this
10 Years - Wasteland

What makes you say that? Where does it say that a piano cover can have no vocals? lol

Well being it's a piano cover, that means it's just by the piano. If it has vocals it would just be a cover, not a piano cover.

mmm That's a stretch Neal. Just out of curiosity, are you a musician?

How is it a stretch? It's called piano cover for a reason, because the piano is covering the entire songs musical notes.
Also earlier in the thread I stated my music history. However, I have friends who teach piano and guitar for a living.

(I play piano, I took CM test every year up to level 8)
You can definitely create piano covers that include the vocals notes and sound good. I think just the video cletus posted isn't the best example of it haha
A cover is just remaking whatever song with whatever instrument you want, and you're not exactly restricted to only playing the instrumentals of the original song, you can do whatever you want to make a cover. For example, all the My Heart Will Go On covers. If we're just playing the instrumentals of that song without mixing in the vocals, it wouldn't work as a standalone song... I mean, unless the intention of playing is just to play the support instrumentals, then that's fine too, but it would sound pretty repetitive LOL

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a piano cover has vocals, wouldn't it just be a cover then? Or shouldn't the guy have put piano cover with vocals? That's my understanding when I asked.

I hear you. Was just curious. I must have missed that earlier in the thread. Was just wondering if you were a musician or not. I think you can play any song on an alternate instrument and toss some vocals in there and call it a [insert instrument]cover. To each his own. I don't think either of us is wrong here. It's just an opinion.

Oh no doubt. I wish I could play the piano. I don't even know how to read music. I was offered highly discounted lessons, but she said it would be awhile before I could play. I don't have the patience to learn it now.

Oh, I see what you mean, the semantics? I'm not sure about that, but I always thought by "piano cover" it just meant "a cover done using a piano" haha

Re: Piano Covers
I think like Neal when it comes to this, if I'm looking up a piano cover I expect it to be just piano.

Okay I think I totally missed the point LOL! I thought by piano with vocals, yall were meaning "piano notes that include the vocal TUNE of the song", so still all piano. I didn't watch cletus video long enough to realize he actually started singing hahah

HA. 😂 Awkward, lol.

Okay, so where are the good covers guys. Lets see them.

Re: Piano Covers
Can I go off topic and post cello covers? :P
I am obsessed with these guys and "With or Without You" is my favorite cover they do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCgomyvD_PQ
Although "Thunderstruck" is a close second if you're looking for something more upbeat. :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT3SBzmDxGk
Also, if you're watching Westworld, the player piano has been playing modern-ish songs every episode...I know I heard a couple of older Radiohead songs as well as "Black Hole Sun."

Be careful bubs. These guys are pretty anal about their piano covers. If you upset the natural order of things you will get called out.

I suspect few people outside of the anime crowd would recognize many of the original pieces, but the talent is there nonetheless :)

Alicia is really good. She is tearing it up in this vid. She is an incredible player. I don't enjoy much piano but I do love her playing..

I found this after watching War Dogs and hearing the song, I was like immediately curious what the piano cover sounded like. It definitely didn't disappoint.
